Four Superfood Cocktails to Sip on This Fall

As we enter into the holiday season, over consuming in a variety of categories always pops up, especially with relation to food and drinks. Just as we enjoy quality ingredients in our food, so too can we insist on this in our cocktails. While claiming that a cocktail is healthy would surely be a stretch, a healthier cocktail is absolutely attainable. With all the fresh pressed juices readily available in markets these days, we can easily ditch the soda and sugary chemical loaded mixers for superfood style drinks that taste great and deliver plenty of benefits.

A few things to keep in mind while choosing the alcohol of your preference is to select a better organic brand than some of the GMO grain-soaked varieties. I prefer to use vodka or tequila in all of my cocktails because they are the cleanest. Tequila has actually been said to have health benefits.

The concoctions below include seasonal fixings that will help get you through the upcoming holiday parties restored and in style. Pinkies up!

Add basil leaves and lime juice to a cocktail shaker. Muddle leaves and juice. Add all other ingredients over ice and shake well until chilled. Pour into chilled martini glass. Garnish with fresh basil and/or float a lime slice.
